Call: Jean
Monnet Chairs

The European Union's Erasmus+ programme
is a funding scheme to support activities in the fields of Education, Training, Youth and Sport. The Programme is made up
of three so-called "Key Actions" and two additional actions. They are managed partly at the national level by National Agencies
and partly at the European level by the EACEA. Erasmus+ provides grants for activities in the fields of education, training,
youth and sport. It offers opportunities for both individuals and organisations.

Jean Monnet Activities are designed to promote excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies
worldwide. The activities also foster the dialogue between the academic world and policy-makers, in particular with the aim
of enhancing governance of EU policies. European Union studies comprise the study of Europe in its entirety with particular
emphasis on the European integration process in both its internal and external aspects. The discipline also covers the role
of the EU in a globalised world and in promoting an active European citizenship and dialogue between people and cultures.
The folllowing activities are supported under this Subprogramme:

Teaching and Research

Support to Associations

Policy
debate with the Academic World

Grant

Financial details

The maximum grant that can be awarded is 50,000 € that
can represent the maximum of 75% of the total cost of the Jean Monnet Chair.

A system
based on a combination of scales of unit costs and flat-rate financing for the awarding of grants under the Jean Monnet Activities
applies. This system is determined on the basis of a calculated national teaching cost per hour. The following method is used:

Teaching
scale of unit cost: the calculated national teaching unit cost per hour is multiplied by the teaching number of hours
of the Jean Monnet Chair. Depending on the country, unit cost per hour are between 80 € and 200 €.

Additional
flat-rate financing: a 'top-up' percentage of 10% for a Jean Monnet Chair is added to the above mentioned unit costs basis.
This top-up percentage takes account of the additional academic activities included in a Chair such as staff costs, travel
and subsistence costs, dissemination costs, costs for teaching materials and indirect costs, etc..

The final grant
is then obtained by applying the maximum 75% EU funding of total calculated amount and by respecting the maximum grant ceiling
for a Jean Monnet Chair (50,000 €).
